This way, the Romanians can return home and use their skills, renewed mentality and the experience accumulated abroad to the benefit of community, and thus contribute to developing a stronger Romania, the president also says in his message. President Iohannis on Wednesday received a group of Romanians who hold public positions in their countries of residence, to underline how important it is to get them involved in the communities in which they live and to take a first step forward towards creating informal networks of professionals to promote the exchange of experience and good practices. To celebrate the Day of the Romanians Worldwide, musician Mircea Florian gave an electronic and folk-rock music concert in downtown Bucharest. The event was part of a festival devoted to the culture of the Romanians worldwide, which also included an exhibition of Romanian painters living in the country and outside its borders.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>JUSTICE<\/strong> \u2013 To avoid sanctions, the provisions of the EU Directive on the presumption of innocence should be transposed into the national law until the European Commission notifies the European Court of Justice, the relevant minister, Tudorel Toader said on Sunday. The European Commission has launched the infringement procedure against Romania for failing to transpose the provisions of this Directive into its Criminal and Criminal Procedure Codes, respectively. Infringement is a standard procedure used by the European Commission against the EU member states which do not announce in due time the transposition of the measures included in the EU Directive, AGERPRES news agency on Friday quoted an EC spokesperson as saying. According to the spokesperson, the procedure envisages 10 EU member states, and the transposition of the provisions of the respective Directive into the national law does not run counter to the legitimate objective of fighting corruption.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>REPATRIATION<\/strong> \u2013 The Romanian Foreign Ministry has announced the bodies of the nine Romanian citizens who died in a car accident in neighbouring Hungary on Tuesday have been repatriated. According to a communiqu\u00e9 issued by the aforementioned ministry, the repatriation efforts have been coordinated by a crisis cell, set up at the level of the institution. The repatriation expenses have been covered by the ministry, from the special emergency fund, the communiqu\u00e9 also reads. The minivan involved in the car crash was coming from Slovenia, heading for Romania. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><b>COMMEMORATIONS<\/b> &#8211; A series of commemorative events were held in <span>Sighetu&#13;<br \/>\nMarma\u0163iei (northern Romania), on Sunday, when the bust of Elie Wiesel, the 1986&#13;<br \/>\nNobel Peace Prize Winner was unveiled.
